Pucking Sweet: Jacksonville Rays, Book 3 By Emily Rath

Poppy St. James has just snagged her dream job as the director of public relations for the Jacksonville Rays, the NHL's latest expansion team. With a one-year contract to prove herself, she’s ready to tackle the challenges of professional hockey. But nothing prepares her for the chaos unleashed by Lukas Novikov, the brash and reckless party boy defenseman who's a constant PR headache. With his sidekick, Colton Morrow, trouble is never far behind.

Despite the players’ teasing—calling her “PR Barbie”—Poppy is determined to maintain her poise and professionalism in her three-inch heels. However, a single phone call from home spirals into a night of drunken mistakes, leading to an unexpected revelation: a little blue plus sign that turns her world upside down.

Now, Poppy must navigate her career, the complexities of her personal life, and the havoc Lukas wreaks both on and off the ice. As she grapples with newfound responsibilities, she learns that sometimes the biggest challenges can lead to the most surprising outcomes. Will she find a way to balance it all, or will the whirlwind of hockey, heartbreak, and impending motherhood derail her dreams?

Puck-ered Up is a spicy, chaotic romantic comedy that explores love, ambition, and the unexpected twists of life. Mature themes included.
